No doubt affairs in . that country had of late assumed a new aspek, but t, , hat" . had recently occurred could surely be of ho force to chatigersti. good faith or otter the principles of that allearice-whic. , , from (:) . e.,irly a Period, had esi,ted and been acted upon to the present honr.

Ten thousand more were subsecne ..ly raised, to he paid by. this country ; aod in the pr,ittent instance it was v . . posed to carry that ntunber to the amount ot 36,000 men.

Such was in all ti :teethe spirit of our policy towards that country, however it inight bo_differeittly ii.terpreted or disavowed by some per sons, but it was unnecessary fur him to go into the history of that policy.
